Jones Beach Air Show

for all you boaters: unless you have a big enough yacht to put up with the swells in the ocean, I heartily recommend you ditch the barge and sit on the sand near the water tower. We took the boat to Zachs Bay for the first two shows way back when and after missing out on the majority of the low level stunts, never went by boat again. The crowds are always well behaved, well policed, but you definitely have to arrive by 11 if not earlier or there will not be a single parking spot left. You can thank me later.
